Arthritis Caregivers in Lakehead - 13 caregivers found

I have always wanted to help people with special needs; perhaps because I had a sibling who was born with severe disabilities, so I know first hand the difficulties and challenges faced by these individuals and their families. There was very little help available when I was a child, so we relied mainly on our family for the help and support we needed. Back then, there were no respite services or in-home caregiver services. You took your chances on finding a trustworthy stranger (if you could afford one). Now, it is very gratifying to me to be able to help other people who are dealing with illness or disability in any way I can. I like to make jewelry and craft items, and I like to share those hobbies with my clients, if they're interested. Many of them seem to enjoy these activities and find them gratifying. I also love to read, and some clients enjoy being read to, which I also enjoy. I've been told I'm a good listener and a pretty good companion, as I can adapt to whatever my client is capable of and willing to do. I am experienced, caring, and am a retired social worker.

I am a very patient and compassionate person who enjoys helping others and I find it very rewarding being able to help someone in need. After caring for my mother I found that I felt most accomplished when helping others. What I enjoy most about caregiving is being able to help seniors take back of piece of their independence. I enjoy working on small personal goals with my clients based on their needs. My greatest accomplishment is the purchase of my dream home on Lake Shasta.

My mother had Lupus for as long as I could remember in my childhood. I would often accompany her to doctor appointments, dialysis treatments, and when I was allowed I would stay overnight with her at the hospital (which was a lot). I would help bathe her and basically just spend time with her, we had so much fun telling stories together. When she was in the hospital I was the little mom at home shopping for meals, cleaning and taking care of the house while going to school, this was my life between the ages of 7-15 years. My mother passed away when I was 15 but I was left with amazing memories of caring for my mom in her most vulnerable time of her life, what an honor. My most relative paid-experience was being a nanny to young children in Oakland, as well as being a general personal assistant helping people to organize their personal life and business. I look forward to speaking with you and becoming a part of your care. Thank you very much.

I have years of experience working with the elderly, disabled and at-risk youth. I have excellent references. I enjoy spending time getting to know my clients and allowing them to be as independent as possible. I have worked with teams of doctors, nurses and family members to create comprehensive plans that work for my clients needs. I have EMT experience, am registered with the state of CA, TB tested, current DL, own transportation, insurance and am drug and alcohol free. I would love to hear from you!

I am a licensed CNA and currently working as a mentor to people with developmental and physical disabilities. When I was 12 years old my grandma was diagnosed with ALS and I helped care for her until she passed, that experience led me on to become a CNA and commit to helping those in need with every day living. I'm very open-minded and compassionate.

I have been a CNA for 5 years. Currently my license is inactive so I'm just doing caregiving. I am a mom of 3. I've worked in Psych, memory, assisted and skilled nursing facilities.
